Description
This module involves placing students in a professional setting, working with a company that develops and manufactures cosmetics or a supplier of raw materials. The module will be organized in the form of industrial projects:
Students are divided into groups, similar to how a scientific team would be organized. They will therefore be required to apply their theoretical knowledge while working closely with the industry partner. The industry partner will be able to guide them or help them contact new suppliers, prepare a cosmetic product dossier, conduct market research, and so on, depending on the project assigned.
Activity reports will be submitted via the sharing platforms commonly used in the field. The groups will be expected to work independently, following specifications defined by the industry partner, in line with the degree program.
This could include, for example, the development of an innovative product in compliance with French and European regulations, among others, or reverse engineering.
